37th Annual Presidents Conference

37th Annual Presidents Conference

Conference Overview

The Council for Christian Colleges & Universities is pleased to announce the dates for the 37th Annual Presidents Conference. The 2013 conference will take place January 30 through February 1 in Washington, D.C.

The 2013 CCCU Presidents Conference launches a new and exciting era for the Council for Christian Colleges & Universities as it carries the cause of Christian higher education nationally and globally into a fascinating future. The Conference starts strong with the CCCU Board's public installation of a new CCCU President, Dr. Edward O. Blews, Jr., his inaugural address sharing his heart and settling forth his vision, and a special "Town Hall" to fully acquaint him with the CCCU college and university presidents and them with him as together they go forward in faith. Then through a series of powerful and dynamic speakers and presidentially participatory sessions, the Presidents Conference will joyfully celebrate Christian higher education, proactively address the challenges and embrace the opportunities for Christ-centered colleges and universities, and accelerate this great and glorious Kingdom cause as we fast-forward into the future. The themes center on the future and vision for the CCCU; critical public policy issues confronting Christian higher education; proactive advocacy strategies at the campus and CCCU levels; and national and global academic, economic, and faith-integrating imperatives for now and the future. An inspirational yet pragmatic agenda places a premium on presidential participation and interaction centered on grand themes and specific issues. Woven throughout will be the invaluable opportunity for fellowship and networking among Christ-centered college and university presidents- an experience that none will want to miss.
